Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In Towson, MD, a homeowner grew concerned after noticing consistent water intrusion in their basement, particularly through visible cracks in the foundation walls. Recognizing the risks of ongoing moisture, such as mold growth, structural damage, and the loss of usable space, they reached out to Quality 1st for a professional evaluation. Our team conducted a thorough inspection and identified the need for a comprehensive waterproofing solution tailored to the unique conditions of the home.

To effectively address the issue, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the interior perimeter to capture water at its point of entry and redirect it to our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, which efficiently removes the collected water from the basement. In addition, we applied our FlexiSpan Wall Crack Repair System to permanently seal the foundation cracks and prevent future leaks.

These three systems worked together to eliminate moisture-related problems and restore the basement to a dry, stable, and protected environment, giving the homeowner peace of mind and the confidence to consider future basement finishing projects.

This homeowner was experiencing water intrusion in their basement in Towson, MD. The water was coming up through the bottom of the doorframe. The moisture was creating potential mold on the wall. Our System Design Specialist did a full inspection and suggested TrenchDrain to drain the water at the doorway and direct it to the sump pump. The homeowner could now relax knowing that their basement was protected from further water damage and mold growth. 

At this property, we installed our waterproofing system with our WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system that connects to the sump system. On the outside of the home, we connected our IceGuard system, which is designed to prevent floods in winter and allows water to escape from the sump pump discharge line if frozen or clogged for any reason. This installation ejects water away from the foundation and will provide extra protection against flooding in the basement.

Customer would get water into the basement when the area would receive a heavy rain, could not pinpoint the location it would enter, would just see the aftermath and knew they needed the help of our company. 

For this job, we tracked down the area where the water was coming in and installed a ThermalDry Wall System, which is a Vapor Barrier that has a radiant shield that reflects up to 97% of the heat back into your basement. We also installed Waterguard around the perimeter that will direct water getting into the basement to the SuperSump Pump we installed as well, to get pumped out of the basement. 

This customer reached out to us wanting to replace her current egress window and well due to both beginning to rust and then well was starting to pull away from the foundation. We came out and installed a 38x48 Casement In-swing window along with a 60x66 Egress Rockwell and Rockwell Cover. Our Rockwells are UV stable, rust and rot proof and can withstand extreme temperatures, they have also duplicated the look of real stone which has a nicer look than a solid colored plastic well.  We finished this install up with a Wellduct system which connects to the current waterproofing system in play.
